Cutting small wood behind the church with my little Echo top handle. 3-4" branches , cutting left handed and holding up the wood with right hand. Cut into a crotch and saw kicked back cutting top of my right hand. Off to the ER, cut index finger tendon and chip out of a bone. Have to see a hand surgeon Wednesday.View attachment 476063

Daggone, hate to see that. I know top-handle saws have their place, but they scare me because at some point I know I'll do something with them that I shouldn't.

I hope your surgery and recovery goes well!

I'm trying to think of a cost effective way to send you some firewood. I'm like 3 storms behind on bucking blowdowns.

I'd put dibs in for some Hickory if and when you figure it out!

Damnit Ray, I hate to see that, sure wish you to get a good doctor to fix you up with good use of your hand again.
I can't believe that you, the manual guy, didn't see where it tells you not to do that! GWS Ray

Which is why they make rear handle versions of those little saws.

I have log length pignut/slick bark hickory I would split and load you a pickup load, Right here in Nebraska. We have a mutual friend that wants the wood and delivered. too. Guess I will have to burn it for him right here as well. What else are good friends for.

Argh! Hoping for a full recovery here. That's what we called an anatomy lesson injury when I was going metal siding. Heal fast and well, friend.

YOUCHEE. I hope your Left hand can pick up the slack. Just remember to pick yer nose before you wipe yer tater hole. I have learned much in my life and thought I would share with you.
Listen to your DOC and get well soon.
I will shove an extra Prayer in there for you and all those around you as you heal.
